1) "Liam's gotten all religious. It"s quite disturbing. He thinks he"s Abel for some weird reason. He wrote a new song called "Guess God Thinks I'm Abel." And I thought,
"Right, so you think you're Abel. That must make me Cain. Doesn't Cain kill Abel?" "But then the first line of the song is "You could be my lover."
It's kind of illegal for two brothers to make love. It's certainly frowned upon."
2) "Of course, it's the Liam/Noel saga that's the motor of Oasis, and, on the new album, the flipside of Let There Be Love's apparent sibling harmony is Liam's Guess God Thinks I'm Abel. Until Liam put him right, Noel had thought it was Able.
"Then I go, 'Hang on a minute. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Abel the righteous brother and Cain the evil, selfish wrongdoer? And doesn't Cain kill Abel?' and I was thinking that's quite weird.
"You could be my lover' and I thought, 'Oh man, I might have to go for a shower now'.
That's certainly not f**king legal is it?" He shudders comically. "I've never listened to the song the same since." Have you asked him about it?

もちろん、オアシスの原動力はリアムとノエルの物語であり、 ニューアルバムでは、兄弟の調和が明確に打ち出された 『Let There Be Love』の裏側に位置するのが リアムの『Guess God Thinks I'm Abel』だ。 リアムが訂正するまで、ノエルは"Able"だと思っていたという。
3) Then a couple of months ago, Noel heard Liam tell a foreign joumalist that his song was about the Biblical parable of ill-starred brothers Cain and Abel.
*Eh?" said Noel, his face screwing into a familiar mask of bewildered incomprehension. "Yeah," said Liam, leaning over to his elder brother and muttering that it was actually called Guess God Thinks I'm Abel.
Noel to Liam (bushy eyebrow a-waggling):"Doesn't Cain kill Abel in the end?"
Liam to Noel [grunting): "Yeah."
Noel to Liam [getting more confused]: "Isn't the first line of your song, "I could be your lover..."
Liam to Noel [blithely unconcerned]: "Yeah."
Noel to me: "Now, if that's not banned in this country, it's certainly frowned upon. Brother-on-brother sex: it's not right is it? So I'm kinda looking at Liam a bit differently lately. Strange kid..."
